THE influence of the weather on West
ern Union wires from Galveston when the
Baltimore and Ohio wires seem to be I'M
touched is mystery of kind with that
which sends Austin and San Antonio mat
ter to Fort Worth via Galveston and Dal-
las. But greater mystery still is, that
Brennan matter for Fort Worth is sent
via Galveston, and that such matter gets
safely enough to Galveston, but is "laid
over" there. The weather seems to have q
special spite at "north bound" wires.
Galveston was the distributing point for
Texas twenty years ago, but it is not SO
to-day; and the Western Union Telegraph
Company should not attempt to hold the
state to conditions which existed in the
past. If it does, the Baltimore and Ohio
will get the BUSINESS.

THE argument for the discohtinuance
of stoves for heating cars has been terri
bly, emphasized by the late disaster on
the Vermont Central Railroad. By the
law of some of the states, New York for
example, it is cheaper to kill passenger
than MAIN him; jury in the latter case
being empowered to value the loss OF
any member of the body, while in case of
death the state fixes the value at $4,000
maximum. So long as this disparage-
ment exists, no great effort will be made
to prevent the wholesale slaughter. The
inventive genius OF the country is suhi-
cient to devise some methods of warning
which will secure safety as soon as rail-
road officials are convinced that the re-
quirement must be met. While steam
heating may have difficulties, they will be
overcome, as has been the case in other
appl: ances, ir-brakes, etc. When rail
road officials are held personally respon-
sibe, and the loss of life made felt pc.
cuniaIy loss to them, in such sums as
juries would enjoy imposing, the proba-
bility is that many obstacles would be
surmounted, and the risk of human life
in railway travel be much reduced.

A GREAT deal is now being said about
advanced methods in education, and
doubtless much of it is merited. But
occasionally there is some evidence that
perfection is not yet, and hint of the
possibility of having to turn and ask
after the paths our fathers trod in learn
ing as well as in religion. An example
of this is found in book recently pub
lished that is intended to make study an
amusement. In chapter called "Chsrac-
ter Hints" the pupil is taught oiographi-
cal history in the following respectful
style:
The couplet that is to mark Luther is:
He threw an inkstand at Satan, and babe him
be quiet
A diet o: worms was his principal diet.
That for abraham Lincoln is:
Sprung from a cabin, our chosen guide,
Shot by man who in a barn died.
This edition of lives of great men is not
conducive to an inspiration for sublimity
of life; neither is it calculated to fill the
minds of children with valuable memo
randa for future reference.

THE effort of Galveston TO secure deep
water will meet with sympathetic ap-
proval all over Texas. When men or
communities evince disposition to help
themselves there can be but encourage
ment from all. There is no hostility to
Galveston per Sc in this state, but there
has been at times very effective hostility
to the spirit too often displayed in the
Oleander City. If Galveston will help
herself and not ask anything because of
what has oeen and is no more forever,
that city will have the moral support of
all and the material aid of many.

RAILROAD REGETaT1oS..

THE GAzET E is not opposed to a5fallread
commission per Sc, nor does 1t doubt the right
of tie people to control and regpssre, to, their
own protection, all crestions of theirs laws.
But THE GAZETTE seriously questions .fhe,pol-
icy st this time of exercising That power which
will never rest in the hands of the people, and
may be put in force at shy time. And THE
GAZETTE is not convinced that such regulation
is at this time needed or demanded by the peo
ple of Texas.-TGa 18th inst.
The context shows that THE GAZETTE
did not intend to say that the power-to
regulate corporations-will nereF rest in
the hands of the people, but that it "will
erer rest in the hands CT the people, and
may be put in force at any time" Laws
now on the statute books are believed to
be sufficient for the present. A more
rigorous regulation than these laws pro-
vide, without pressing need, would be
unwise and impolitic. THE GAZETTE not
only recognizes the power OF the
people, but advocates the use OF
it when necessary. The suggestion
is, are not present laws sufficient
for the present, especially in view OF the
passage of the Interstate commerce bill,
and would not undue rigCr in the eXer-
else of the popular prerogative at this
time tend to retard the attainment of that
competition, northward from the state,
which is so much to be desired, as well
as the building of railroads into sections
now without such facilities? Certainly if
a more rigorous supervision than we now
have in the laws on the statute hooks is
not needed, it can but make those men
cautious who are at present contemplate
ing railroad investments in the state.
The question Is not whether the people
have right to regulate corporations, but
whether present laws are not all-suffi-
Gent for the present purpose, and wheth-
er needed competition and facilities will
not be frightened eff by rigor of regula-
ton not demanded.

Miss KATE FIELD has implicit conf
dence in a Virginian's knowledge of the
constitution, as is evidenced by the fol-
lowing from Washington corresponds
ent by whom she was questioned as TO
faith IN the constitutionalitv of the Ed
munds-Tucker bill. In answer she said {:
SIT has been questioned, but that's perfect
nonsense. John Randolph Tucker framed
the bill, and if Virginian thinks he knows
anything it is the constitution. Eminent
lawyers have been consulted regarding
the bill, and there will be no trouble on
that point"

a WILD STATEMENT.

Ths Chicago Drovers Journal, In dis
cussing the deprecated value of live
stock, replies to the statement of New
York paper, that certain interests in Chi
cago make the price to cattlemen as well
as to the Eastern consumer. In this re-
ply, the Drovers Journal refers to refrig-
Grating establishments outside Chicago
as follows:
| The New York man attributes the decline in
live stock. and the high prices the consumers
are obliged to pay, entirely to the dressed beef
shippers If there are such great fortunes in
the dressed beef business as our New York
writer claims, will he please inform US why the
Strengthening establishment erected at Victoria,
Tex about three years ago, only ran a few
months, then closed up and started again last
year. and again failed also The Strengthening
| house at Fort Worth, Tex which only ran a
short time and was closed out; also the slaugh-
tering house started at Mendoza, Mont, which
commenced about three years ago and was
abandoned last year. All these houses have
been started by men of great wealth and In re-
gions where the bulk of our range cattle come
from, and by slaughtering at the above points
they save all the shrinkage in shipping, freight
and feed on the road, stock yard charges, and
commissions for selling, thereby saving from
S. 90 to $500 per head and still with ali these ad
vantages they failed, aod lost the stockholders
several millions of dollars.
THE GAZETTE desires to correct the
Chicago paper as to the Fort Worth
works. Whatever the completeness of
the works erected at Fort Worth may be,
there was never any considerable amount
of money invested in their management
and operation. Two attempts were made,
some years ago, to operate the works,
and, in both cases, practically without
money. 1t may have been in each fort
that few thousand dollars were avail
able, but it is fact well known here, if
not in Chicago, that both these efforts
to operate the Fort Worth works were
ventures by men who had but little
money, as compared with what was re-
quired Fort Worth did no. contribute
much of that loss of "several millions'of
which the Chicago paper speaks.
THE GAZETTE would not be construed

In Mr.. Payne's land bill he stpulates
thai "the minerals on all the land sold
remain the property of the state in trust. "
This will not do, Mr.. Payne. Texas went
into the landlord business and "a check
was placed on immigration and settle
ment, as shown by the register, tor nearly
two years'-according to Mr.. Walsh.
Now, if Texas proposes to go into the
mining business, it is safe to say that
mining prospectors will put their expert
mental money where it will do them the
most good-in some other state.

THE GAZETTE is not so presumptuous
as to advise the Western Union Tele-
graph Company how to manage its bust
ness, but it is the mission of this paper
to deal with facts as they exist. The
Western Union either has plentiful lack
of wires in certain portions of Texas, or
it uses quality of wire more susceptible
to weather influences than that used by
the Baltimore and Ohio Company. When
the Western Union wires are "working
badly" from Galveston the Baltimore and
Ohio wires find no difficulty in transmit
ting matter from that city which the
Western Union failed to get off.

LAND bills multiply. When a people
get away from the true policy in dealing
with any public question there are as
many substitutes as there are interests to
be served. All Texas should be subjected
to the one true, wise policy, or each Sec
ton should be allowed the system il
prefers. The lease law will never be
aught than botchwoik, and as long as ii
remains on the statute books the land
question will come up like Banquo's
ghost. The proposition to make land
board of the Land Commissioner is not
one that appeals to the approval of men.

wall county's ouly prisoner made his es-
cape from the Jail by wrenching off the
fastening Of the outside door with crow
bar. For the past two or three days the
weather has been very moist which
caused the cage, and especially the bot
tom, which was made of boiler iron, to
condense great quantity OF moisture
thereby causing the prisoners clothing
and bedding to be wet, and the sheriff al
lowed him to stay in the corridor during
the day, with the above result. He was
evidently assisted from the outside. His
name, as reported by him, is Yarbrough.
He was from "out west" and was ares

Correspondence of the Gazette.
SNYDER. TEX, Feb. 9.-Twelve miles
of the Lexington Cattle Company's fence
was cut on the night Of tine eth inst.
There are no particulars as to parties.
The boys on the ranch are reticent about
making statements.
The storm did no damage IN particular
here. Cattle drifted very little, and it
did not last long enough to chill anything
in particular. Cattle have Jared excel
lently so far, with no loss to amount to
anything. In the Lexington, Espinola,
Jumbo, Llano, Boon Bros, Magnolia,
Alabama and Montgomery Bros pas
lures cattle are in excellent condition.
The other pastures show up tolerably
fair. On the open range the cattle are
thin, but strong and lively. Sheep are
fat everywhere, and range will carry
through without loss. One herd sold
the past week at 81 81 per head, which
shows an upward tendency for spring.
